this lab was to introduce us to star charts and how to use them to find stars‚ constellations and other bodies in the sky. Procedure: The instructor gave a brief but thorough lecture and demonstration on how to go about finding the answers on the worksheet. We then filled out the worksheet that cover finding stars and constellations using right ascension and declination in general and on specific dates‚ where constellations are in the sky in relation to the star Polaris‚ and what time the sun

These “scruffs” lead the way to a more in-depth understanding in how Astronomers come to understand the twinkle behind a star. Through the discovery made by Bell‚ science has been used to explain a fascinating spectacle gazed upon by awe-inspired star watchers. Next time someone looks up in the dark night sky and passes upon the tiny emittance of a twinkly light the validation of Jocelyn Bell’s hard work and discovery will be appreciated

always looked to three stars for comfort as I was on my own quite a bit growing up. The stars that always gave me the inspiration to go for bigger and better things have been the three bright lights that make up Orion’s Belt. I‚ at the time‚ had no idea that these stars were part of something bigger and prominent in our galaxy. As I grew older‚ I studied more into the three stars that I admired as a child (Alnitak‚ Alnilam‚ and Mintaka) and learned about the four other stars that combined to form

always enjoyed the stars - so to see a constellation with such finesse‚ truly amazes me. Cygnus has a star that is known as "Deneb." This is the brightest star in its constellation. The meaning behind this word‚ is from the Arabic word "the tail." The star Deneb‚ represents the tail of the swan‚ except it is at the top of the cross. The wings of the swan signify the horizon of the cross. The head of the swan‚ is the double star "Albireo‚" which is located at the southern point of the star. Cygnus is roughly

discovered over twelve hundred thousand exoplanets throughout the Milky Way Galaxy. The TedX video “Are we Alone” explained that there are millions of planets in our universe. Astronomers discovered these planets by measuring the brightness of distant stars over time. Moreover they measured the brightness using advanced telescopes such as the Kepler. If the brightness fluctuates‚ there is a planetary object orbiting in front of it. Likewise‚ using this methodology‚ NASA expects to find many more planets
